1. Change 0.015 to a fraction.

• A. 3/200
• B. 3/2000
• C. 15/1000
• D. 3/100

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.015 to a fraction, we can rewrite it as 15/1000. Simplifying this fraction, we get 3/200. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3/2000) is incorrect as the decimal 0.015 is equivalent to 15/1000, not 15/2000. Choice C (15/1000) is the initial form of 0.015 as a fraction, but it can be further simplified to 3/200. Choice D (3/100) is incorrect as it does not represent the decimal 0.015.

2. Casey spent $80 on items where each item costs $4. How many items did Casey buy?

• A. 12
• B. 18
• C. 20
• D. 24

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the number of items Casey bought for $80, we divide the total amount spent ($80) by the cost per item ($4). The calculation gives us 20, indicating that Casey bought 20 items in total to reach the $80 expenditure ($80 ÷ $4 = 20). Therefore, the correct answer is C, 20. Choices A (12), B (18), and D (24) are incorrect because they do not align with the correct division calculation based on the information provided.

3. How many grams are in 4 kilograms?

• A. 4000 grams
• B. 3000 grams
• C. 4500 grams
• D. 3500 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 4000 grams. To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply the number of kilograms by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. Therefore, 4 kilograms is equal to 4 x 1000 = 4000 grams. Choice B (3000 grams), C (4500 grams), and D (3500 grams) are incorrect as they do not correctly convert 4 kilograms into grams.

4. Convert this military time to regular time: 2120 hours.

• A. 9:20 A.M.
• B. 9:20 P.M.
• C. 2:12 A.M.
• D. 2:12 P.M.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert military time to regular time, subtract 12 from the hours if the time is in the afternoon or evening. In this case, 21 - 12 = 9, so 2120 hours is equivalent to 9:20 P.M. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, 9:20 P.M. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly adjust the military time to regular time format. Choice A shows 9:20 A.M., which is incorrect as the time is in the evening. Choices C and D show times that are not derived from the given military time, making them incorrect as well.

5. If the ratio and proportion 15:2000=x:200, what is the value of x?

• A. 7
• B. 0
• C. 7,777
• D. 1

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the value of x in the given ratio and proportion, we can set up the equation as 15:2000=x:200. Cross multiply to get x * 2000 = 15 * 200. Simplifying this gives x = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is D, which is 1. Choice A (7), Choice B (0), and Choice C (7,777) are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation of x.
